stevia leaf extract makes it taste nice – especially for kids!

Our Moothpaste is our fabulous formulation that took us years to develop after talking with both dental practitioners and our customers. Many people felt that a toothpaste without Fluoride was being irresponsible as Fluoride is needed to assist remineralisation. However, others told us they would never use, or give their children toothpaste that contained Fluoride. Our aim was to provide the benefits of Fluoride to those that prefer not to use this ingredient.

Fluoride is added to most toothpastes as it assists in the remineralisation of teeth. Basically, when scratches and cracks appear in your teeth, Fluoride helps fill these cracks in before bacteria can cause tooth decay. Think of it like filling in a crack in your drywall. But what most people don’t know is that there’re alternatives to Fluoride with strong clinical evidence to do the same job as Fluoride. They just cost a little more and can be tricky to formulate with, but we did it and we think it is worth the few cents more per brush. So instead of Calcium Fluoride, we’re using Calcium Hydroxyapatite.

Ingredients:

Sorbitol (Thickens and Sweetens), Calcium Carbonate, Tapioca Starch, Aqua (H₂O’s Fancy Name), Sodium Bicarbonate (Low Abrasive Bicarb), Hydroxyapatite (Remineralisation Agent), Xylitol (Natural Sweetener), Decyl Glucoside (Glucose Based Cleanser), Flavour - Natural Peppermint, Xanthan Gum (Food Grade Thickener), Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf Extract (Natural Sweetener), Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (Coconut & Taurine Derived Cleanser).

Even when we spit out toothpaste, we ingest some and our mouths also absorb contents into the blood-stream. Not to mention how much toothpaste children swallow. For this reason we choose ingredients that are healthy while being the very best at keeping our teeth healthy and strong.

What is Calcium Hydroxyapatite?

"Nano-hydroxyapatite is a revolutionary material with a wide use in dentistry. With regard to restorative and preventive fields, nano-hydroxyapatite has remarkable remineralising effects on initial lesions of enamel, certainly higher than traditional fluorides used until now for this purpose. Nano-hydroxyapatite is, in fact, a better source of free Ca, and this is a key element as regards the remineralisation, the protection against caries and dental erosion." – A Journal of Odonontostomatologia Sciences

Is Your Hydroxyapatite Vegan?

Yes. Although our bones and eggshells have a lot of Hydroxyapatite, this is not our source. The only non-vegan ingredients in any of our products are Fresh Milk (used in our Fresh Milk Cleansing Bars), Milk Protein, Honey and Beeswax. For those into chemistry, our Hydroxyapatite is formed by the combination of natural Ca3(PO4)2 and natural CaCO3 at high temperature. These compounds come from minerals, not from coral or bovine sources.
